[ This software will soon be available for anonymous uucp on osu-cis and anonymous ftp on gatekeeper.dec.com. ] Forwarded-For: James Clark <jclark!jjc@relay.eu.net> I am happy to announce the release of GNU groff, version 0.3. This is a beta-test release; you should only use it if you wish to help test it. Groff is GNU troff and related programs. Included in this release are implementations of troff, pic, eqn and tbl -- these are intended to be fairly compatible with their DWB 2.0 namesakes, but provide many additional features -- a PostScript driver, a driver that produces TeX dvi format, a driver for typewriter-like output devices, an enhanced version of the X11R4 xditview previewer, an implementation of the man macros and a modified version of the Berkeley me macros. The pic provides support for TeX similar to tpic. Groff is written in C++, so you will need g++ or some other C++ compiler that implements C++ version 2.0. Groff is available for ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu in the directory /u/emacs. Get groff-0.3.tar.Z (approximately 710k), and groff.diff-0.3-0.3.1 (approximately 5k). Bugs should be reported to bug-groff@prep.ai.mit.edu. James Clark jjc@jclark.uucp jjc@ai.mit.edu
